I've been reading everything I can on here for about a month and I can say I officially have a fig addiction, currently have 15 fig plants in ground, most have been in just the last two months alone, and another 6 in pots.
Currently have-
Pete's honey
VdB
Conadria
Flanders
Panache
Texas giant blue
Brown Turkey
And some unknown varieties-
Possibly Kodota, Black mission, and brown turkey.
have several other cuttings in my aeroponic cloner, and some Black mission cuttings in moist potting mix covered with cups and or plastic bags

Your trees look really nice...and big!  Whenever I see one of those giant water tanks I know that that's serious gardener ;-)
Not that you need it, but good luck with the figs.

Thank you! Those IBC totes are for my Aquaponics

Hi, I'm also in Tucson. You are smarter than I am for starting with trees... my cuttings are not going well, haha. They look great. At least my RdB is doing well.

I think you're lucky, RdB is one of the cuttings I'm looking forward to the most, I've read so many good things about them... if you're not having the best luck with your cuttings you could always try buying a cheap fig tree and grafting your cuttings on... I've successfully grafted 6 cuttings this year, some aren't doing as good as I'd like but they're growing.

I can try air layering a small one for you later in the year if you want to do a trade, or cuttings later in the fall. My RdB isn't very big yet.

Welcome Lael, yep it does appear that you are infective with figitis. Sorry no know cure.

Lol, that's exactly how I've been feeling lately... I think the only cure is more fig trees :)
